The wrapper today has a black and brown ruddy look. I really like these when they are jet black, I believe they taste better. None the less, the Amazon is among my favorites. I have plenty of these on hand. And, I also believe that the bigger ring gages are just so much better than those little winy sizes. The smoke is cooler the cigar itself does not get as warm during the burn and flavors are more eventful to experience than the smaller ring gauges.
The Amazon holds a beautiful grey ash. Burns well for a big cigar and it provides some good complexity during the smoking experience. The main profile is built around the earthy qualities; it is like you can taste the soil from which the plants were grown. I like the toasted cashew nut like notes. The smoke has a meaty quality as it fills your palate. While the Anaconda has the coffee and chocolate profile the Amazon carries these notes as an undertone to the flavor profile.
Pairing this with the Black Monday Stout is just the right thing to do for a medium-full flavored experience. It is not the coffee shock experience that the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte cigar provided in an earlier pairing with this stout. (I love coffee overload)
This Stout delivers that great coffee and dark chocolate taste and the Amazon has the solid earthy qualities making for a well balanced and strong pairing. The acidic earthy notes in the cigar are like the bitter hops in a brew during this pairing. The toasty flavors of the cigar mingle well with the roasted malts of the stout. Both, the stout and the cigar are smooth and rich in taste.
If you are looking for that bold coffee and chocolate pairing light up the Anaconda or the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro with the Brew Haus Black Monday Stout. When, your taste buds want a little balance light up this Amazon Cigar.
See pairing with I.T. Super Fuerte
